Now, let me try to brave through the risk of sounding
unbearably corny, and talk about how finding a good reason to volunteer will
help you in school.
When I say help you in school, I do not mean the credits you
may get, or how it looks on you resume. Although, I do know people who have
joined various clubs that specialize in community service solely for the
credits, and by the end of the year, they are just as caring, and involved in
the group as everybody else. I mean that it will help you meet people with good
intentions, as well as teach you lessons you will never be able to learn inside
the classroom.
The extent of volunteering does not essentially matter, as
long as it is something that helps the community in some way. Whether it is
selling flowers for Mother’s Day to raise profit for Nepal relief, or even
something as simple as a local clean up of the park. Overtime, you will find
that it feels good to give back to the community, and eventually your reasoning
for volunteering will be intrinsic, rather than just stacking up the volunteer
hours.
Overall, I can say that I still find ways to volunteer when I
can though my school. I do it because it feels good to know that there are
people around who still care, and aren’t to caught up in their daily lives to
give something back.
Very nice Shiv I enjoyed reading this.
